Much Better Adventures Reviews 1,459

I have recently signed up for my first trip with MBA; a cycling adventure in Vietnam in October. I had many questions and all were answered promptly and thoroughly. The booking process was easy and since then, the information I've received has been excellent. Will review again after I return from the trip but I anticipate a fantastic experience!

Clear instruction. Booking was as if blink of an eye

I reached out over a weekend for specific questions about a couple of trips and received responses quickly and thoroughly. I was given more than enough information to help narrow down my trip and give me confidence in choosing Much Better Adventures as my tour group. All three people from ther compant who emailed me were prompt, friendly and helpful.

We did the west coast of Scotland kayak and wild camping aventure in May. We were pretty lucky wiith the weather not freezing and Even got some sun.

The whole tour was really well organised from start to finish. Our instructor Elliot made sure we were safe at all times, attended to the needs of each group member and is an excellent cook!

We were given dry bags for all our kit...half of our kayak storage space was for personal use and the other half for the group's food and cooking equipment. I would recommend taking some of yóur own smaller 2-5 litre dry bags to put snacks and smaller ítems into as they can fit in the gaps between yóur larger dry bags and it also makes it easier to organise yóur kit in the tent.

All in all a great experience..I would definitely book another aventure wiith Much Better Aventures/In Yóur Element.

The website is nice and clear and the information about the trips are very detailed.
MBA has a very good variety of trips

Booking process was a breeze with the friendly help of matt b.
Thanks for answering all my queries!

Lucy is unbelievably prompt and helpful. She single-handedly makes the whole enquiry process a pleasure

Excellent support and friendly staff very impressed with the professionalism

I started researching some cycling tour options in Namibia and connected with support to ask questions. I ended up communicating with Rachel, who was incredibly helpful. I still had some questions a few days later, so ended up on a call with Matt. After getting the information I needed, I went ahead and booked the trip. Hoping the experience in Namibia is as great as the service has been so far!

Their website is clear and concise and very easy to navigate. It has great “real” honest reviews with plenty of information and tips to help with the decision.

Where do I even begin? This trip was nothing short of amazing, and I mean that in every sense of the word.

Vanya was an exceptional guide, funny, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure every person in our group had the best possible experience. The hiking and biking routes were breathtakingly beautiful and just the right amount of challenging. The weather was absolutely perfect, and we are all convinced Vanya had something to do with that.

The agriturismo was great. Elisa and her team have a true gift for hospitality. Every meal was delicious, the prosecco fantastic, and you felt genuinely cared for from the moment you arrived.

But more than any single moment, it was the memories made with dear friends that I will carry with me long after the trip ended. A week like this does not come around often, and this one exceeded every expectation.

I came home with sore legs, a full heart, and memories with friends that I will treasure for a lifetime. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Until next time!

I appreciate that when I asked a more difficult question, a live agent took over for the AI chat without me asking it to, and they were able to answer my questions and provide follow up.

I had an enquiry about a trip cost and Rachel was great. So friendly and helpful. Don't usually have much faith in on-line chats but was quickly connected to a real live person and received excellent customer service!

Lucy was extremely helpful and friendly and made a great effort to keep in contact during the booking process.
Very impressed.

A memorable MBA trip along the Atlantic coast of Portugal from Lisbon to Cabo de São Vicente.

Booking was a breeze with questions answered quickly by a real person. The trip itself met or exceeded all of my expectations. Everyday we spent 4-5 hours cycling across a varied landscape and terrain with great views of and frequent visits to the sea. Hotels and lunches were good and we had good camaraderie in the group and chose to eat together every evening. Special thanks to our guide Ricardo and our driver Vitor who were charming, knowledgable and looked after everyone in the group.

I had booked something a couple of years ago and was unable to do it. I got a voucher for what I had paid to use was unable to use it in the time and it had expired I contacted them and they have just extended the voucher so I can use it. Very helpful. Looking forward to an adventure with them

This multi-activity adventure to the Galapagos & Ecuadorian Amazon arranged & led by brothers Edwin & Winston was an amazing experience! I loved every minute of it. I especially appreciated seeing how the all-inclusive price paid to MBA was directly benefiting the local hotels/lodges we stayed at; the restaurants we ate at; the Galapagos’ guide who organized our activities on Santa Cruz & Isabela; the cycle company that delivered our bikes; the scuba gear shop that rented us wetsuits; the kayak expert & his helpers who provided us with kayaks & constant instruction on paddling safely through rapids on a tributary of the Amazon. We observed the giant tortoises at the Darwin Research Station, tasted local coffee & artisanal chocolate produced on a family farm, watched a master woodworker hand-carve a giant tortoise from a small block of wood in less than 15 minutes & then purchased a work of art from his shop to take home.

My husband and I have recently returned from an the MBA Ultimate Adventure in Vietnam, trekking, hiking and Kayaking
Our adventure holiday was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The scenery and activities were incredible, but what really made the trip special was our guide Phoung (Jack). His local knowledge was outstanding — sharing fascinating insights about the area, culture, and hidden spots we would never have discovered on our own. What impressed us most was the genuine care Jack showed for everyone’s wellbeing throughout the trip. He was always attentive, patient, and encouraging, making sure every member of the group felt safe, comfortable, and included. Whether adjusting the pace, checking in regularly, or offering support during more challenging parts of the adventure, he went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. We would highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a well-organised, exciting, and supportive holiday experience.

I've been on a few MBA treks now - Laugavegur, Tian Shan, Cotopaxi and Selvaggio Blu. They've all been excellent - well-planned, great guides. The customer service is excellent too.

Excellent support and resolved my issue of changing the dates of my trip immediately.
